  4. District Grading Practices Higley teachers will teach the Arizona academic standards and assess how students are progressing. When teachers report student progress they will follow these guidelines: • Scores are related to achievement of the standards • Variety of assessments used to gather evidence of achievement • Assessment procedures support student learning

  5. Standards Based Grading Defined: • Standards-based grading measures the mastery of the learning objectives • It is based on a specific set of standards that students need to meet for each grade/content level • Marks are not a comparison of one student to another, but rather a way to measure how well each student is doing on grade-level/course level standards • A standards based approach allows parents and students to understand more clearly what is expected of students and how to help them be successful in their educational program

  6. A Standards-based approach: • Indicates what students know and are able to do • Scores indicate a student’s progress toward the attainment of a standard • Clearly communicates expectations ahead of time • Is based on complex tasks, as opposed to rote memory • Occurs when appropriate, not just on scheduled days • Emphasizes the more recent evidence of learning • Multiple methods of grade calculation are used to determine grades

  7. Report Card Indicators The K-5 Grade Reports to Parents include the following levels of performance: 4 = Above benchmark / Exceeds current grade level expectations 3 = Meets benchmark / At grade level expectations 2 = Approaching benchmark / Improving but not consistent 1 = Below grade level / Needs more time and support Blank = Not yet introduced GOAL
